Rents remain steady in the Bay Area — but perhaps not for long

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:33 GMT

Rents have stayed steady for most of the year in the Bay Area — but the trend might not continue for long.As mortgage rates inch closer to 8% — their highest level in 23 years — more would-be homeowners are waiting on the sidelines, continuing to rent, which is driving demand for apartments.“A lot more people are going to choose to rent instead of buy because of mortgage rates, and that will push rents up,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist for Redfin, an online real estate brokerage that tracks home sales and rental prices.Rents have fallen 1% year-over-year across the Bay Area, according to data from real estate information company CoStar. That’s a savings of $25 a month for a $2,500–per-month rental.Across the country, real estate pricing stayed mostly flat, growing by a meager 0.7% since last October. The average asking rent for an apartment in the third quarter was $3,011 for San Francisco and San Mateo counties, $2,925 for Santa Clara and $2,389 for Alameda a...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:13:33 GMT

(CNN) — Results from a landmark clinical trial this summer suggested, for the first time, that a medication given for weight loss alone could reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or heart-related death in people with cardiovascular disease, bolstering physicians’ excitement about an already-exploding class of new medicines.Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, part of the booming group of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, was shown to reduce those people’s risk of another cardiovascular event by 20%, results that were confirmed in a presentation of the full dataset Saturday at the American Heart Association conference in Philadelphia.“Imagine a future where we’re treating obesity and, in effect, treating these other obesity-related diseases” like hypertension, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes, Dr. Ania Jastreboff, director of the Yale Obesity Research Center, who helped conduct the trial, said at a briefing Friday. “Treating obesity clearly improves health outcomes.”A key question about...
